Chapter 22 The Desperate Dead
"It's getting late, so we'll stop our investigation today. Miaomiao will be handed over to Team Leader Li for now." Han Yun didn't wait for Miaomiao to speak, and said first: "I won't go to the police station tomorrow, you come report to me. I'll send you the address later." After saying that, Han Yun turned around and wanted to leave, but then he remembered something, stopped and said to Li Tieyun: "You can look up the Chu Rong case. There should be an abandoned factory building near where her body was found. If my guess is correct, that should be the first scene when Bai Jing was killed."
Han Yun left Honglin Landscape City alone and stopped a taxi on the roadside. As the taxi drove away, he saw through the window that Li Tieyun, Yu Miaomiao and others also walked out of the community.
After arriving at the rental community, Han Yun found a restaurant nearby, ordered a bowl of noodles to fill his stomach, and then went back upstairs.
Han Yun did not stay in the living room of the deserted house, but went directly to the workroom and locked the door. On the entire blackboard wall, Han Yun erased the words he wrote last night, and then wrote the names of Dong Xing, Bai Jing, Wang Lu, Wu Nan, Wang Mengxian, Chu Rong, etc., and sorted out the roles played by each person in this murder case.
Then Han Yun took two steps back, stood in front of the blackboard wall, and slowly closed his eyes.
He pulled his thoughts back to the old building where Dong Xing had performed the surgery secretly, and simulated the entire murder from the murderer's perspective. Han Yun previously speculated that the murderer might know Dong Xing, but now he changed his mind, maybe they didn't know each other.
If the murderer really wanted to avenge Chu Rong, since Chu Rong was Dong Xing's first assistant, she must have the key to the old building. So it would be easy for the murderer to get the key. He could hide in the old building first. There was only an operating table and a few small cabinets for medicines in the living room. It would be difficult to hide a living person. So if the murderer entered the old building in advance, he could only hide in the bedroom.
The murderer hid in the bedroom with two hospital beds. When Dong Xing opened the door and entered the room, he suffocated him and knocked him unconscious. Then he tied him up on the operating table and waited for Dong Xing to wake up.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Han Yun's thoughts turned to the victim Dong Xing. When Dong Xing woke up from the drugged state and found himself tied to the operating table with a stranger standing in front of him, he would definitely ask this question.
"I'm here to take your life." Han Yun said viciously while standing facing the blackboard wall in the empty studio.
The murderer had a clear goal, which was to kill Dong Xing, so he would not give him too much opportunity to speak. Dong Xing should not have shouted. If he did, even though the old building was inhabited by elderly people, they should have heard some noise. The murderer blocked Dong Xing's mouth with a rag. The forensic report did find debris from the rag in Dong Xing's mouth.
After blocking Dong Xing's mouth to prevent him from shouting, the murderer picked up a scalpel and began to cut Dong Xing's stomach. The scalpel was very fast, and the murderer did not use it, but just gently cut a layer. Blood flowed out from the wound. Dong Xing should have seen it all. He saw with his own eyes that the murderer cut his stomach once, and then cut deeper into the original wound.
As more and more blood flowed, Dong Xing became more and more desperate. With his life in danger, the murderer removed the rag that was blocking Dong Xing's mouth. At this time, even if Dong Xing wanted to shout for help, he had no strength left.
"Please... please... don't... kill me." Han Yun imitated the desperate Dong Xing and said in a very weak voice.
The murderer ignored the request for help and continued to cut the wound with the scalpel. The wound, which was originally shallow, became deeper and deeper after countless cuts. Dong Xing was no longer able to ask for help, and even less able to look up at the increasingly deep wound on his stomach. He could only lie on the operating table in despair, waiting for the last moment of death. With the last cut, the flesh on his stomach was instantly turned over, and the internal organs inside were visible to the naked eye. Dong Xing also breathed his last.
Dong Xing died. The murderer cut open his intestines, rolled up a card with the number '0' written on it, stuffed it into his intestines, then slowly wiped the scalpel, put it back in place and left.
The police's evidence list did not include Dong Xing's phone or Wu Nan's phone. It seemed that both phones had been taken away by the murderer, or thrown away somewhere else? Han Yun was puzzled. If the murderer wanted to avenge Chu Rong, why would he use such a cruel method? Or was this direction wrong? Did the murderer have another purpose for killing people?
Han Yun was lost in thought in the old building, looking at Dong Xing lying dead on the operating table in front of him, when he suddenly heard a gasp behind him. He turned his head sharply and found Qin Xiang standing in the corner of the room, with a wicked smile on his face. Han Yun came out of his thoughts and breathed heavily, when the phone in his pocket rang. He took out his phone and took a look, it was Yu Miaomiao calling.
Yu Miaomiao spoke first after the call was answered: "Team Leader Li has called up the Chu Rong case and has sent people to find the factory where Bai Jing kidnapped Chu Rong. Also, I just looked at Chu Rong's file. This woman was divorced two years ago, which is when she had an affair with Dong Xing. She also had her own family. And Chu Rong has a son who is now in college. I specifically called his university for consultation. Recently, he has been in school and has not gone out. So the person who avenged Chu Rong should not be her son."
"Does she have any other relatives?" Han Yun asked.
"I'm divorced from my husband, my son is in college, and my parents are both dead. I probably have no other relatives." Yu Miaomiao replied.
"Contact Chu Rong's husband and ask him about the reason for the divorce. He should know his wife very well. If he has any relatives or friends who are particularly close to her, you will know." Han Yun paused for a moment and then said, "By the way, investigate the next person named Chen Yi, who is fifty years old this year."
"Who is this person?" Yu Miaomiao asked puzzledly.
"Before, in the cabinet of the bedroom in the old building, which is the scene of Dong Xing's death, I saw a test report with a name called Chen Yi on it. I don't know whether this person is related to Dong Xing's murder. Anyway... let's check it out." Han Yun hung up the phone and looked at the blackboard wall again. He picked up the chalk and wrote Chen Yi's name next to it , and then put a question mark after the name.
Not only Chen Yi, but also Wang Lu, who received the third card, and Dong Xing and Bai Jingjian, what kind of story does it have? Thinking of this, Han Yun found Su Mo's WeChat, pressed the voice button and said, "Tomorrow morning at the same time, still in the same coffee shop, I want to see Wang Lu ."
Less than a minute after the voice message was sent, Su Mo replied and said, "Okay, see you then."
